Good question.I started with another tag, because I already had an alias: Kramyk. I got bored with the repetition of “K”s and with the similarity with the letter “R”, which my name also had, so I started to sketch full alphabets. At first, it was difficult for me to decide another name, but once I saw that I made some letters better and that I liked them more, I created “Dase”. By then, I used.

I’ve always liked painting. With 11-12 years I started listening to rap music, and with it I started to get into hip-hop culture. I loved seeing thousands of graffiti from behind the train’s window. I was getting more and more anxious to try it. I had no idea about what I could use for painting, until a friend of mine gave me a pair of “montana colors” spray cans (light red and chocolate brown) for my birthday. With them I made my first graffiti, on 4th June 2006.

Quality. although they are related, his stuff is quantity of quality. I suposse that the ideal thing to be good and recognized is to paint a lot, but personally, I prefer to be good than famous, so I bet for quality. If I paint a lot is to improve and to satiate my thirst of graffiti haha.

I try a lot of thing so I make a bit of everything, from 2d works to model pastel, and from comical characters to hyperrealism. What I prefer best now is 3d combinated with hyperrealism. I also have some abstract secret sketches.

Not yet. people don’t know or they don’t want to know how to distinguish between a protest sentence made with an spray can and a wall. That is what they demonstrate when they fine everybody that much. Anyway, there is more and more people that see the great graffiti’s potencial, and there’s people that also charge it. So, whith hard work, one can even live of this.

I try to make them meaningful, sometimes at a personal level and others at a more general and reivindicativ way. It’s the case of the walls in the NOT IN OUR NAME project, which I started with Faif. Those walls where trying to complain, in a non-explicit way about intolerable facts in this society. In general, they reflect both the things that I like and the ones I don’t. It’s funny to be ironic sometimes.

Graffiti has given me a new vision of a lot of things: lilberty, society, dreams… it makes me live in a different way: it has made me more competitive, I’ve acquired self-confidence with it and I’ve accepted new challenges. It has also made me meet a lot of people, travel a bit and earn a little bit of money.
